Given the inevitable disruption that introducing such software
will cause in many organisations, we asked our panel whether
it is worth the effort – especially as much of the focus in
project management is on people skills rather than technology

to improving people’s effectiveness. He likens the alternative
to “training people in accountancy to control resources and
then making them use a medieval double-entry book-keeping
system. Moreover, technology makes possible certain project
management techniques – such as daily progress reporting to
a client on a global project – which would otherwise remain
theoretical. It is important to be excited by these possibilities
and to translate that excitement into benefits that people
can manage towards.”
